steve roberts Posted July 17, 2021 Report Share Posted July 17, 2021 (edited) Not sure if this is unusual but the Middlesbrough team of 1948 had Frank Hodgson, Wilf Plant and Derick Close in their line up. In later years sons Russ Hodgson, Graham Plant and Nigel Close rode for Middlesbrough albeit not during the same season.

You should know, it's weird things like that that interest me, so I'll do some research to see if there are any similar cases. That's if BL65 doesn't beat me to it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iris123 Posted July 18, 2021 Report Share Posted July 18, 2021 Quite possible something similar has happened Seem to think that Hartmut, Martin and Ben Ernst all rode for Stralsund. Grandad, son and grandson.Then quite possibly Mario Busch and Tobi Busch rode for Stralsund as well. Could well be that Mario rode with Martin Ernst and Tobi with Ben Ernst 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chunky Posted July 19, 2021 Report Share Posted July 19, 2021 I'm having trouble finding three fathers who even rode in the same team, let alone have sons that rode for that team!

old bob at herne bay Posted July 19, 2021 Report Share Posted July 19, 2021 Paul Dugard is Martin's brother. Then Kelsey Dugard is Martins son. You also have the Kennetts at Eastbourne , Gordon, Barney and Edward. Then the Collins clan , Peter, Phil , Les. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

salty Posted July 19, 2021 Report Share Posted July 19, 2021 Roy Trigg, Colin Pratt and Bob Andrew’s are close at Cradley. But Bob moved to Hackney when Colin moved to Dudley Wood so they never rode together. Troy rode for Cradley at Stoke and Bobs grandson rode at Monmore for the Hearhens. Think Triggys son rode some second halves? As I said close…., 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
